<h1 id="apm">APM</h1>

<p>Application Performance Monitoring support is a driver
feature that allows monitoring services to hook into the
driver in a forward compatible and stable way. The API is
not applied to the driver unless explicitly initialized to
avoid any performance penalties.</p>

<h2 id="api">API</h2>

<p>The following code example hooks into all the available features
of the APM API.</p>

<pre><code class="language-js">const listener = require('mongodb').instrument({
  operationIdGenerator: {
    operationId: 1,

    next: function() {
      return this.operationId++;
    }
  },

  timestampGenerator: {
    current: function() {
      return new Date().getTime();
    },

    duration: function(start, end) {
      return end - start;
    }
  }  
}, function(err, instrumentations) {
  // Instrument the driver  
});

listener.on('started', function(event) {
  // command start event (see https://github.com/mongodb/specifications/blob/master/source/command-monitoring/command-monitoring.rst)
});

listener.on('succeeded', function(event) {
  // command success event (see https://github.com/mongodb/specifications/blob/master/source/command-monitoring/command-monitoring.rst)
});

listener.on('failed', function(event) {
  // command failure event (see https://github.com/mongodb/specifications/blob/master/source/command-monitoring/command-monitoring.rst)
});

</code></pre>

<p>There are two main aspects to the APM API. The first one is the command monitoring specification and the second one is the instrumentation method.</p>

<h2 id="command-monitoring">Command Monitoring</h2>

<p>Command monitoring is based on the cross-driver specification for MongoDB found in the Command monitoring <a href="https://github.com/mongodb/specifications/blob/master/source/command-monitoring/command-monitoring.rst">specification</a>.</p>

<p>The Command monitoring specification is a low-level monitoring specification that sends a notification when a new command is executed against MongoDB and if it fails or succeeds. In most cases this is straightforward and you will receive a single start and either a success or failure event.</p>

<p>In this example, the user executes the <code>isMaster</code> command against the server and receives the following messages (full objects are abbreviated for simplicity&rsquo;s sake). When the <code>isMaster</code> command starts execution we receive the following event (this result is from <code>JSON.stringify</code>; in the real event the connectionId is the actual connection object the command was executed against).</p>

<pre><code class="language-js">{
  &quot;command&quot;: {
    &quot;ismaster&quot;: true
  },
  &quot;databaseName&quot;: &quot;system&quot;,
  &quot;commandName&quot;: &quot;ismaster&quot;,
  &quot;requestId&quot;: 7,
  &quot;operationId&quot;: 1,
  &quot;connectionId&quot;: {
    &quot;id&quot;: 8,
    &quot;host&quot;: &quot;localhost&quot;,
    &quot;port&quot;: 27017
  }
}
</code></pre>

<p><code>requestId</code> is the id used for the wire protocol message sent to MongoDB and allows you to correlate the commands executed on MongoDB with the commands from the driver.</p>

<p><code>operationId</code> is an id that is used to group commands into a single logical command execution. Use cases are queries and batch writes where a single logical operation might be executed as multiple commands to the server. For a query this might mean it gets executed as a <code>find</code> command and <em>n</em> number of <code>getMore</code> commands as well as a <code>killCursors</code> command. For bulk writes the logical grouping might contain <code>n</code> individual write operations. The goal of <code>operationId</code> is to allow APM providers to correlate the breakdown of a cursor or bulk operation with the method called by the user.</p>

<p>A typical example:</p>

<pre><code class="language-js">db.collection('data').find().batchSize(2).toArray(function(err, docs) {
});
</code></pre>

<p>That might be translated to <code>1</code> find, <code>n</code> getMores and <code>0|1</code> killCursors.</p>

<p>After the command executed successfully it sends the following result:</p>

<pre><code class="language-js">{
  &quot;duration&quot;: 0,
  &quot;commandName&quot;: &quot;ismaster&quot;,
  &quot;requestId&quot;: 7,
  &quot;operationId&quot;: 1,
  &quot;connectionId&quot;: {
    &quot;id&quot;: 8,
    &quot;host&quot;: &quot;localhost&quot;,
    &quot;port&quot;: 27017
  },
  &quot;reply&quot;: {
    &quot;ismaster&quot;: true,
    &quot;maxBsonObjectSize&quot;: 16777216,
    &quot;maxMessageSizeBytes&quot;: 48000000,
    &quot;maxWriteBatchSize&quot;: 1000,
    &quot;localTime&quot;: &quot;2015-08-04T10:26:01.445Z&quot;,
    &quot;maxWireVersion&quot;: 3,
    &quot;minWireVersion&quot;: 0,
    &quot;ok&quot;: 1
  }
}
</code></pre>

<p>Notice that the <code>requestId</code> and <code>operationId</code> match up to the start message, allowing the user of the API to correlate the two events.</p>

<p>The next example shows a complete <code>find</code> operation that results in multiple <code>getMore</code> responses.</p>

</code></pre>

<p><strong>Note:</strong> all the documents share the same <code>operationId</code>, allowing the
APM API user to correctly map the low level commands to the logical
command executed by the user (in this case <code>toArray</code> on a cursor).</p>

<h3 id="operationidgenerator">operationIdGenerator</h3>

<p>The <code>operationIdGenerator</code> option allows the API user to pass in a
custom <code>operationId</code> generator object. You can use this object to
synchronize internal request IDs in the APM client with the low-level
command monitoring API. This synchronization makes it possible to
associate the logical method called by the user&rsquo;s code with the
low-level commands issued to MongoDB. This allows for a richer
APM experience and performance breakdown. Below is a simple
<code>operationIdGenerator</code> example.</p>

<pre><code class="language-js">const generator = {
  operationId: 1,

  next: function() {
    return this.operationId++;
  }
};
</code></pre>

<h3 id="timestampgenerator">timestampGenerator</h3>

<p>The <code>timestampGenerator</code> option lets the API user to override the method
used to timestamp the command monitoring events with a custom timestamp
type. The generator contains two methods. <code>current</code> returns the current
timestamp<code>and</code>duration<code>calculates the total operation duration
between the</code>start<code>and</code>end` time. Below is a simple generator example.</p>

<pre><code class="language-js">const generator = {
  current: function() {
    return new Date().getTime();
  },

  duration: function(start, end) {
    return end - start;
  }
}  
</code></pre>

<h2 id="instrumentation">Instrumentation</h2>

<p>The <code>instrumentation</code> callback returns the instrumentation points in
the driver and associated metadata. In the following example, the
result shown is the result from performing <code>JSON.stringify</code>.</p>

<pre><code class="language-js">{
